About me

I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor working both in Nottingham and Whatton (nr. Bingham, which is within easy reach of Grantham, Newark, Bottesford, Cotgrave, Radcliffe and Melton Mowbray).

I have experience of working with individuals, couples, adolescents and children on issues such as relationship issues, bereavement, anger, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem ... or towards a more meaningful way of living.

I also offer Individual Supervision at a reduced rate whilst working towards a Diploma in Supervision.

My personal approach is Person-Centred, based on a positive belief in the potential of humans beings. I bring a willingness to meet a client where they are and to honestly participate in a therapeutic relationship. I believe that together we can find some insight and clarity to enable you to be everything you can be, therefore empowering you to make decisions and choices that are right for you, and build a sense of resilience to aid emotional well-being now, and into the future.

Further information

Counselling aims to offer you the opportunity, in a confidential setting, to explore, discover and clarify ways of looking at your life, and discover new ways of being, both individually and in relationship. It is a way of giving you time and space to discover more effective and rewarding ways of coping and living.

As your counsellor, I would aim to support you in developing your own insights, awareness and possible solutions to the issues that are important to you.
